Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the fundamental design principles of current IP networks,
- configure an enterprise or campus network,
- explain how intra-domain and inter-domain routing works, and in particular how redistribution and aggregation works,
- describe the Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford routing algorithms,
- in detail explain how link-state and distance-vector routing protocols work and be able to assess their differences,
- configure Internet routers using several intra-domain routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, IS-IS and PIM-SM,
- explain the network architecture for IP multicast and how IP multicast is distributed within a network,
- describe and practically configure a network with label switching and traffic engineering using MPLS and RSVP.
